Old Chinese Cemetery

Old Chinese Cemetery

A casual trip
to an old cemetery on a Saturday night resulted into a series of spooky disturbing
and surprising turn of events.

Michael Lee
and Andy Tan were best friends and also schoolmates in the early 1990s. They
were also neighbours (actually they lived about 1 mile from each other – ‘close’ when you were young!) Andy called Michael on the telephone
(before the handphone existed!) to find out what’s the plan for the
evening.

Downright
bored and just goofing around, Michael suddenly suggested playing with the
spirit of the coin (something like an Ouija board) at a nearby cemetery that
night. At first Andy was kindna reluctant but was persuaded by Michael’s enthusiasm
and besides it he thinks the spirit might give him some good news about a girl,
Amy, which Andy really likes. In fact Andy was even willing get the board for
the spirit of the coin which was taking a white cardboard and writing numbers
from 1 – 9, alphabeths like A – Z and “Home, No and Yes”.

They both met
at a nearby mamak stall at 11pm and had ‘teh tariks’ before finally proceeding
to the old Chinese Rasah Cemetery. The cemetery was located up a hill as some
Chinese belief that it is good ‘feng shui’.

It was a
dark night with a really cold breeze filled with a bright full moon but with
only a few lamp posts along the way and heard the stray dogs was howling and
the cats were meowing. There was a shed with a roof but with the walls
completely uncovered except for the wooden posts. Luckily the guys had their
flashlights and carried on with putting the paper board onto concrete stool.

When they
played with the spirit of the coin with their fingers on the 20 cent coin they
argued that the other was pushing the coin. At one stage they felt like the coin
was slighting lifting and besides it was gibberish and just rubbish with the
spelling with the alphabeths or over the board and it does not make any sense.

Finally
Michael took a break and walk away from the shed, puffing his cigarette and
shinning the light from flashlight. When he noticed that the clothes were
strewn about the cemetery and also the food and offerings that were left for
the departed had teeth marks on them as if someone had taken a huge bite.

He motioned
Andy to come and take a look and they both looked puzzled at that scene. Andy
finally said that it must be the dogs and both (still trying to be macho) decided
to leave to get back to the mamak stall.

While they
were walking on the path leading from the cemetery they saw in a distant 2
girls walking in the same direction. They looked familiar and when the 2 girls
looked briefly at their direction – it was Patricia and Sue, two girls they
knew from the Convent school who lived nearby. Both of them wave their hands, yelled
and shouted at them but the 2 girls must be too far and they lost sight of
them.

Finally they
made it to the mamak stall where their decision to call it a night. The next
day after school they accidentally ran into Patricia and Sue at the bus stand
and they casually mentioned that they saw the girls the previous night near the
cemetery. The two girls looked at each other with a puzzled look and said that
it could not be as they both were in their friend’s house the whole night!
